Guest Reviews
- Margo (10/5): - Great place, wonderful staff they went above and beyond!
- MIchelle (10/5): We loved Hotel Amavi! The staff went out of their way to make us comfortable and help. Highly recommend! - The hotel is bright and colorful. Our room opened up right onto the pool area so it was fun and easy to swim and meet up with our friends. And we could walk to the beach in about 2 minutes. Our only complaint was a cat that caterwauled for many hours into the night. It sounded like she walked up and down the corridor of rooms and she was very loud.
- Kathy (10/5): - Hotel Amavi is everything you could desire in
- Elliot (9/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): Highly recommended - Everything, the hotel is very clean in esch single aspect. The staff is unique, very kind and available for any request. Breakfast: you have 4 choice of breakfast, everything is prepared at the moment and it’s delicious. You have a pool where you can relax, a park for your car and the position is close to the centre and closer to the beach (100 mt from playa Jaco). They offer different kind of excursions, I kindly recommend to enjoy a surf lesson with Julian, he is very empathetic and a professional. The place is very relaxing and I kindly suggest you if you need a break from the city and from your life:) I’ll come back for sure in Jaco and once there I’ll stay again in hotel Amavi, for sure! Ah last but not least, price are very affordable ! Nothing
- quentin (10/5): Hôtel parfait à 100 m de la plage - Superbe hôtel ! Emplacement parfait à 100 m de la plage, chambres confortables, bar au top avec de très bons cocktails, petit déjeuner excellent. Restaurant en commande à emporter: super recommandation et prix abordables. Les cours de surf avec Julien : un vrai régal ! Tout était parfait. Rien
- Julie (10/5): Belle étape sur la route du sud - Très joli petit hôtel, propre avec un parking privé. Accueil très chaleureux et fort de propositions.
- Bart (10/5): -
- Aneka (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning views
- Anonymous (10/5): A beautiful boutique oasis in Jaco. - The design, comfort, staff, location and programming. Nothing.
- Valentine (9/5): Superb - Love the raw botanicals- local and great products! Awesome pool ! + a little breakfast was included , perfect to start the day! Will be back -
- Karla (10/5): Exceptional -
- Matthew (10/5): Fun, comfortable, easy, pleasant, great vibe - What a pleasant surprise. We live in Nosara and were taking a road trip south for several days. We wanted to take a break on the way and found this Hotel. Unlike most of the dated and/or poorly designed hotels in the Jaco area, it appeared to have character and style, exactly what we like in hotel. Everything exceeded expectations. The place is really cute. The rooms were well thought out and designed, and the beds incredibly comfortable. The staff was incredible, attentive, funny, and engaging. Parking easy and right there. Great pool and bar, too. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely stay here when back in Jaco. Liked everything
- alicia (10/5): - Steps from the beach, close to shops and food. The staff is amazing!
- Jaye (10/5): Exceptional - Sooʻ sweet@ lovely painting and paintings. Lovely pool.
- Justine (10/5): Joyful Vibrant Bday Retreat!! 🌴 - If you’ve ever dreamed of diving straight from your hotel room into a vibrant pool, sipping cocktails designed by a mixology wizard, and falling asleep in a bed that rivals any five-star resort—@Hotelamavi in Jaco, Costa Rica, should be at the top of your list! Anneth, part of Hotel Amavi’s all-star-team, had our room ready by noon so we could prep for our Explorer Tour with @toura.global. After returning, still buzzing from the day’s adventures, we did what any sane person would do: jumped right into the warm pool. The in-pool lounge chairs? Game changer. The direct pool-and-bar access from our room? Iconic. Fofo, Amavi’s fabulous bartender made me a drink I’ll be ordering again and again: The Riddle-tropical, tangy, refreshing cocktail. It’s bright, a little flirty, and goes down dangerously easy. Priced at $10, it’s worth every colón. Back in our cozy room, I indulged in all the @rawbotanicals products provided-handmade in CR-the star of the show: Mango Dream Cream. Yes, I will be buying it in bulk. Don’t judge! Climbing into what might just be the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, I had a moment of pure awe. Every detail in this hotel feels curated with love. If you’re a fan of HGTV’s #bettingonparadise you’ll recognize the signature style of Steph and Luke, the dream team behind Amavi. But trust me—seeing it on screen is one thing, experiencing it in person is next-level. I woke to birdsong (actual birdsong!), made myself coffee from the room’s custom coffee bar, and sipped it by the pool! ☕️ Hotel Amavi is more than just a place to stay—it’s a joyful, vibrant retreat that completely lives up to the hype. And the best birthday present ever? 4pm checkout!! 🎉 We will be back @hotelamavi-you’re like family now so you’re stuck with us!! ♥️ Nada
- Jennifer (8/5): - Beautiful accomodating and well kept
- Joanna (9/5): Great place to stay in Jacó! - Loved this hotel! There are only a small number of rooms so it was very peaceful. The room was a great size with a really comfortable bed, and the pool and bar on your doorstep. The beach is only a couple minutes walk away - perfect for a swim, surf or catching the sunset! I also really enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere of this area of Jacó, exactly what I was looking for.
- Avrum (10/5): - the property is very close to the beach only a 1 minute walk to it. I loved that it was very convenient especially for surfing and they have a lovely pool & bar.
- Benjamin (8/5): Good location, friendly staff and felt very safe. - The location was great, the hotel is really unique and comfortable. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful with all kinds of different requests. Communication was also really good. The cleaning staff were fantastic and the actual room was really clean, the only thing I felt was that the bathroom although clean could have done with a good base clean as it was just looking a bit tired. Overall though this didn't affect my perception of the hotel.
- Amanda (8/5): - Property is beautiful and nicely located near the ocean. Reception was so kind and easy to work with, very accommodating. We had a great time the evening we were there - got great drinks at the bar and had great conversation with other guests. Highly recommend! Only issue we came across was the slow-draining shower. Otherwise, a nearly perfect stay for a great price.
- Margot (10/5): Exceptional -
- A (10/5): Wonderful hotel - Amazing hotel! Beautiful rooms and pool and a super friendly and helpful staff! Next time I’m in Costa Rica I’ll definitely stay there!
- Dorothy (2/5): - There were ants all over our room- all over the floor, climbing the walls and even in our beds. The floor looked like it hasn’t been washed in months and the toilet seat was falling off. It was the bartender that checked us in when we arrived and knew next to nothing about our reservation. No restaurant on the premises, only bar food which closes at 8:00. It could be a great place but didn’t measure up to the reviews
- Mia (10/5): Delightful nearly beach front oasis! - They gave us a selection of milks to choose from when we checked in so we can have coffee how we like it in the morning, which we drank while in the loungers in the pool. Very stylish and chic! Just a 2 minute walk from the beach so was able to go back and forth from the beach to the pool. Very comfy bed and bedding in an air conditioned oasis.
- Steve (10/5): Second Home!♡ - Each trip only becomes better with love. Hotel Amavi, great people, from every member on team. Very safe environment, very clean grounds and rooms. Beds will spoil you in dreams of paradise. Truly unique people on all levels. Loving Vibes!♡
- Welch (10/5): Exceptional -
- Parker (10/5): - Very convenient, clean, and a great value!
- Alexis (10/5): - Property was easy to find, staff members were very welcoming & helpful as tourists looking for nearby amenities. The room was beautifully set up & very clean (everything looks like the photos) 10/10
- Sonia (9/5): Superb - A nice place next to the beach! It’s spacious and clean. And reception was very friendly and gave us a good tip where to eat. Nothing
- Sabrina (9/5): I loved this Hotel - if ever in Jacó again, I’ll come back - The hotel is absolutely beautiful, the design & amenities have been chosen thoughtfully and are from a higher standard that I have seen in CR so far. The layout, happy colors, the location of the bar and also the staff provide a perfect mix of happiness, good vibes & tranquility. The rooms are beautiful, the bed is very comfortable and especially the receptionist Anneth helped us with anything we needed and was very forthcoming. She helped with ordering food, laundry service, booking a horse riding tour on the beach and connected us to their wonderful and extremely professional surf guide Julian. The two wonderful guys at the bar made fantastic drinks & juices, helped with my luggage, played great music and were always up for a good conversation. It’s a 2 min walk to the beach and just perfect. I liked it so much that I rearranged my trip & came back for 3 more nights! We had a lovely stay and I would come back any time! ❤️
- Hannah (10/5): Amazing decor, very unique stay. Would recommend to a friend. - Clean, comfortable, very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful pool
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (9/5): Very cozy hotel - Very cozy hotel Cute little garden Confortable bed and pillows Close to the beach (3’ walk) Coffee and milk for free Can be a little bit noisy as all rooms are near the pool/reception area and you can hear people talking
- Malinowski (10/5): Wonderful boutique hotel in a great location with amazing staff - Wonderful experience! Great location, about a 3-minute walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. The town was about a 20-minute walk away, which wasn't bad. The hotel itself was great, super clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the pool, which had a bar and small restaurant adjacent to it. The staff was amazing and super helpful. I highly recommend this hotel. The bathroom was a little small with very limited countertop space, but that wasn't a big deal.
- Oliver (10/5): This hotel is wonderful! - This hotel is amazing! The only 9 rooms are placed around the pool and in reality it‘s more beautiful and more private than on the pictures. The rooms are very nice equipped with comfortable beds and furnitures. The bed linen is excellent and consists of a completely wrapped inlay and good pillows. The mattresses are very comfortable. The air conditioning is very quiet. We had them running on „silent“ during the night. The team including the owners, the bartenders, the reception and the room service are very friendly and familiarly. They have good tips and suggestions for all concerns. The location of the hotel is excellent. It is located in a quiet area of Jaco. You can reach the center within a few minutes by bus, on foot or by car. The unique beach can be reached after approx. 100 meters along the road with very low traffic, on which the hotel is located. We felt so comfortable for 16 days that we would have loved to stay or stay there again when we come back to Jaco. Everything was perfect!
- Alejandra (9/5): Superb - Very nicely decorated, good service, clean and good cocktails Little privacy in the rooms as has both size windows and it would be great to have breakfast options in the hotel
- Asher (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jessica (10/5): Loved the decor, was very welcoming, great beds and bedding, a perfect getaway. - The location was great. Within walking distance to the main part of town but away from the busyness and close to a beautiful beach.
- Noland (8/5): Relaxing - Staff was great, helpful and friendly. Minutes from the beach, dining and adventure. Security at night, staff help with booking and reservation. Shower head leaking, cosmetic maintenance like umbrellas, chairs around the pool.
- Anwar (8/5): - Wife pick this property. Newly renovated. Close to the bench. Food in the area was really good. Could stay there again.
- Angela (10/5): - Beautiful resort, excellent breakfast
- Michael (10/5): - Loved Amavi!
- Nina (8/5): Very good -
- Christen (10/5): - Such a beautiful hotel the staff was amazing it’s walking distance to restaurants and the beach
- Amandine (10/5): Great ! - Fabi at reception is a gem ! She made our stay amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful and we loved the room. It’s located 100 m of a nice beach, away from the main part of town, but only 10mn drive. Someone from the staff was speaking so loud on speakerphone before 6 am, next to our room for 20 mn.
- Erica (10/5): - Perfect vibes for my first visit to Costa Rica. Cute, safe and family friendly. Walking distance to beach and quick Uber to restaurants and shopping. Owners joined in on karaoke night and staff was onsite
- Lili-- (9/5): Laid-back, design forward, romantic, surf escape. - We stayed three nights at Amavi during a work trip to Costa Rica, and it was the perfect spot for a relaxing, beachside stay. I chose Amavi for its proximity to the beach, laid-back vibe, and the ability to rent a surfboard right on-site—and it didn’t disappoint. The staff was incredibly welcoming and kind, and I loved that it’s tucked away just a 10–15 minute walk from the main part of Jacó. The peaceful atmosphere and stylish design really suited us, especially since we prefer to stay away from the party scene. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, design-forward hotel with a great vibe and easy access to surf! I ended up taking surf classes with Julian (I'm an intermediate surfer) and it was really the best surf instructor I ever had! If I could change one thing, it would be to have a breakfast or coffee option in the morning (I couldn’t quite figure out the coffee machine). We stayed in a regular room so we didn't have a kitchenette like the one in the suite and there is no restaurant on site, only a bar. That said, there’s a great restaurant right across from the beach just a minute away, so it really wasn’t a big deal after all.
- Joe (9/5): Loved this little place and close to beach! - Well kept. Bright colors and beautiful pool. Big bed pretty comfy. Great A/C, fan and great lighting in room. Nice bathroom with awesome shower. Great staff so kind! Nice little bar area. Nothing really.
- Keith (8/5): Lovely hotel with friendly staff - We loved the staff, the pool and the room. The bed was close to the floor and had a step up from the kitchen area that you had to remember so you didn’t trip on it. The free ground coffee was great. Would definitely recommend to stay there. Lots of loungers with big umbrellas at the pool with a bar right there. The only problem we had was with the air conditioner. It didn’t work properly the second night, was very warm in the room and it made a loud buzzing noise every few seconds which prevented us from sleeping. Unable to contact anyone at the hotel after 6 pm. Otherwise the rooms are very nice!
- Ian (10/5): Wouldn't change a thing. - Great location with an open, outdoor stocked bar at the poolside. Very comfortable and nicely appointed rooms. Super clean and VERY nice staff. Great value. Highly recommended.
- Jeanette (10/5): Gem in Jacó - After having watched (and thoroughly enjoyed Betting on Paradise and needing a place to stay for one night on our way down thecoast Hotel Amavi was the obvious choice. It did not disappoint! What a gem!! Knowing the back story made it more special. Well appointed and comfortable. So many lovely details. Maybe we should have stayed longer.😄 Nada
- Jess (10/5): Exceptional - Hotel Amavi was lovely. We only stayed here one night on our way back to San Jose. The staff was inviting and social, and we arrived right when all the guests were having a trivia night! It was good vibes right away. Hotel Amavi is in a quieter part of town, but it's an easy 15-minute walk to get to the busy street with all the restaurants and bars.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Great area for active beach goers! - Everyone was so lovely and accommodating. The rooms surround the lovely pool (which has a bar with water and fruit drinks in addition to wonderful cocktails). Beds are so comfortable as is the A/C which you control. The pool has a large shallow section which is great for the littles, or for lounging on the underwater chairs with your papaya fresa! Lovely umbrellas for shade in the hottest part of the day. Outdoor shower and bathroom next to the pool. They are perfectly located a bit outside the most touristy part of town, 1 block from great food at Rayana or Aloha (on the beach) and hiking up to El Miro. This beach is great for learning to surf or strolling (firm sand). Amavi rents boards and can arrange for surfing lessons with Julian. They can also arrange rainforest walks, horseback rides etc, and had a karaoke night at the open poolside bar. Use your sunblock early and often!!
- Guz2771 (9/5): Superb -
- Gregor (10/5): Great boutique hotel - Small boutique hotel, great design Very new Interieur, very very nice Fantastic beds Coffee machine and coffee included Nice little pool and great bar Great staff No bfast available Hotel is in 3rd row, so beach access is a 2min walk (but that’s ok and easy) Size wise rooms,pool pretty close to each other, so a bit cramped (you can’t be not part of a party)
- Alicia (10/5): - Great service and staff is very nice. Thanks Fabiola! Easy access to nearby restaurants and bars.
- qinghai (8/5): Friendly hotel - Friendly service and easy check in
- Hayley (10/5): Love this place - Loved this hotel! Gorgeous decor and the comfiest biggest bed ever. So close to the beach with the most beautiful sunsets. Lots of restaurants close by and great coffee provided in the room. Only comment is I didn’t realise we had to leave a sign on the door otherwise they don’t clean the room (I didn’t see any communication about this) however they gave us new towels straight away when asked.
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the mid century art deco design of the entire property including the rooms!
- Nicholas (10/5): - Wonderful staff and service with very kind people! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
- Rivera (10/5): Wonderful hotel - The place is beautiful and the personnel is kind and attentive. We would definitely stay again. El lugar hermoso, luce igual que las fotos. El personal amable y atento. Experiencia 10/10 y definitivamente volveríamos a hospedarnos. Todo fue positivo
- Adam (10/5): Just the best - Just loved this place. One of our favourite ever hotels. It has such a great vibe, the rooms are perfect, the pool and bar area is small but just perfect. Everyone who worked there as well as the owners who we had the pleasure to meet with were incredible. We would actually travel back to Costa Rica just to stay here again.
- Ruth (10/5): Chic boutique hotel!! Gem in Jaco. - Everything! Great addition to Jaco. Loved the vibe. Super great staff. Can’t wait to return!

- Nerea (10/5): Great place, great people - It was a very wholesome and comfortable stay. The Amavi Hotel is beautiful, the rooms are perfect, the staff was extremely helpful and kind to us. We loved staying there to celebrate the end of an awesome trip. Everything was perfect
- Chad (6/5): - Beautiful little property, with a wonderful pool area and very nice bar. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would rate much higher but unfortunately our shower was really dirty and the room was quite dusty.
- Kirsten (10/5): Beautiful hotel, incredible stay. Highly recommend! - Spacious clean room with incredibly comfy bed. The location is great with the beach just a minute away. Staff friendly and helpful, overall a great stay! Not so much a dislike but a recommendation, the hotel has various events but these aren’t communicated to guests, people will want to know about them so that if it’s something they want to attend they can be back for it and if it’s not their thing they can be out for it.
- Yichen (10/5): Exceptional - Nice staff nothing
- Francis (10/5): Le meilleur hotel de notre sejour au costa-rica - Hôtel super bien fait. C'est l'hotel que l'on a le plus aimé lors de notre sejour au costa-rica et tellement abordable. Super emplacement, personnel aidant, tranquille. La perfection
- Katarzyna (10/5): Can't wait to visit again:) - Lovely staff, amazing location, clean comfortable rooms with hair and bodycare products you actually want to use!
- Rachel (10/5): - I wish I could stay longer. Beautiful big room and comfortable bed. The staff went above and beyond with flowers and some cupcakes when we arrived. The whole property is beautiful and well designed. Definitely staying here again when I come back to Jaco.
- Aaron (10/5): - Beautiful facility and the staff are very nice. The person that worked the counter was really helpful and had a great personality. Easy parking, clean rooms, pool and bar. Would definitely stay there again.
- Kera (8/5): I couldn’t have asked for a better stay! - I loved the interior, the whole atmosphere was really good! High quality furnishes and the bed is super comfortable. You can hear a lot through the walls.
- Lori D (10/5): - This was a great place to stay. I would stay again. For other travelers: they don't have two restaurants on-site but yiy can order feom 2 local restaurants that will deliver. There is a bar on-site but they don't serve food.
- James (9/5): Great Hotel Great Value - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent with only a short walk to the beach. It is a smaller Hotel so there is no sense of loud noise from to many people. The rooms are very clean and housekeeping was done very well. The pool is very nice. The bar next to the pool is very convenient. The Hotel arranged for us to have great transport to and from the San Jose Airport. A great value compared to other larger places in Jaco. We were advised they will have meals available in the future at the Hotel. Especially a breakfast opportunity would be very helpful.The downside is at this point is you can only order food In by cash from one restaurant the hotel uses and no use of a credit for the food ordered. If you are proficient In Spanish and have a phone plan you can have more food order options.
- Lukasz (9/5): Superb -
- Jenn Lamb (10/5): - Hotel Amavi was absolutely beautiful! The staff was friendly and informative. Very clean with the most comfortable beds. Location was great, just a few minutes walk to the beach with a couple of bars and a cute restaurant called Mahi Mahi you could just walk up to and order the most delicious food and sit right there on the beach and eat! Pura Vida ☀️
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - Nice Staff!
- John (10/5): - We were greeted by friendly staff, they also sent us details for checking in if they were not at the desk as we were arriving late, the room had a comfortable bed, coffee was provided with a coffee maker in the room, and the layout of the room and the level of detail was great. All rooms are laid out around the pool are light and have blackout blinds, very good stay. Would definitely stay here again!
- Paloma (8/5): Good - The hotel is very pretty and is very close to the beach. The staff was not very attentive and at the checkout time they told me I had to pay as I was not registered the night before even when I was charged the night before (I didn’t pay twice but it took them a long time to figure out). Also they don’t serve breakfast, only with coupons? I didn’t get that. I wanted to pay to have breakfast but they said it was not possible even when they have a cafeteria and had some plates with pastries served… weird. The hotel is very pretty though. Oh, I also found some hair in the bed.
- Stuart (10/5): - The staff are great! Very helpful. They are connected with the community so make sure to ask them questions and for recommendations. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The beach is super close and it feels very safe.
- Ronald (10/5): Exceptional -
- Steve (10/5): Amavi Hotel 10 Star at 💙 - Each visit to Costa Rica has been truly awesome experience. I would say this trip with a longtime 50 year friend was perfect each day. Excited to get the trip started we decided to check in a day early to Amavi Hotel. Amazingly, that was well received through text whats app. Arriving, we were more than pleased. Frankly, we were so impressed we stayed all days at Amavi Hotel, added another. Lol This hotel gives the most positive vibes in every aspect. Rooms, grounds, staff, location and peace of mind. No worries here. Outstanding locally owned and many ticos earning a good living. Support the local economy and this Jaco Beach Hotel will give back to you years of Pura Vida.... To be honest, this Hotel Staff will expose the true Pura Vida Lifestyle. The 5 star ranking doesn't say enough here, to recharge the soul is 10 star. I would recommend to, families, friends, solo travelers. I personally travel all categories.
- Sheila (10/5): Comfortable, clean and newly refurbished. -
